He’s Worth Gold!

Dr. Borders has been my doctor for well over fifteen years, since long before he became a part of the MDVIP program. I feel extremely lucky to have him as my doctor. I think Dr. Borders is caring, thorough, knowledgeable, and most importantly perceptive--he thinks beyond the surface.

Several years ago, I experienced a period of imagined illnesses that brought me into Dr. Borders’s office time after time, each visit resulting in his reassurance that I was really okay. Finally, on one visit, I made an off-handed mention of anxiety, not thinking of it as a clinical issue, more an expression of garden-variety stress. Dr. Borders quickly, but gently, seized on my self-revelation and asked what I was doing to combat the anxiety. After we talked about it, he prescribed a medication, and I never again entered his office for a fictitious ailment! My life got much better after this diagnosis. I cannot imagine where I would have been over the ensuing years had he not recognized my problem that was hiding beneath the surface.

Since Dr. Borders’s affiliation with MDVIP, I have learned so much more about my health. The in-depth tests that are performed yearly have given detail about my specific health weaknesses and needs. Dr. Borders, who is quite knowledgeable and very current on medical research, chooses to educate his patients and empower them to improve their own health. I truly appreciate the time he takes to talk with me about recent studies and books on topics that are relevant to my health.

I value Dr. Borders and I feel like he “has my back,” which is a feeling worth gold to me.
